Go Green Night

admin

The Seventh Annual Grizzlies Green Week presented by International Paper is just one of the ways the Grizzlies are taking steps to be more environmentally friendly, tipping off with the annual “Go Green” game on March 6 vs. Phoenix.

Prior to tip-off, the Grizzlies will host the Go Green Expo, a series of interactive stations that will be located in several areas  of FedExForum  from 1 -3 p.m. that will allow Grizzlies fans to learn more, thanks to volunteers from International Paper. Eco-friendly advice will be given throughout the game as the Grizzlies share “Green Tips” through their in-arena broadcast and game presentations. In addition, presenting partner International Paper will showcase its ecotainer® brand cups, made in the USA from fully renewable resources. The cups will be used for drinks purchased throughout the FedExForum concourse. The ecotainer® brand cups are also fully compostable in commercial composting facilities.

Throughout the game, International Paper will provide all fans in attendance with an opportunity to take pictures with amazingly realistic life-sized corrugated cutouts of their favorite Grizzlies player. Fans can download the free Print Hammermill(TM) App, which allows them to print their photo directly from their smartphone to printers located in the International Paper zone outside sections 104-106.

On Saturday, March 12 the Memphis Grizzlies, International Paper, Wolf River Conservancy and other eco-friendly organizations will join forces at Shelby Farms Park (Gate 11) in order to work toward their vision of planting 10,000 trees in the 11th Annual Wolf River Conservancy Tree Planting. All Grizz fans are invited to take part in the Grizzlies Go Green week event. To register, please visit wolfriver.org.

Grizzlies Green Week presented by International Paper and associate sponsor MLGW, is asking all of Grizz Nation to get involved in making Memphis greener – and greater – by attending the Grizzlies vs. Golden State Western Conference showdown tomorrow night where tree seedlings will be given to the first 5,000 fans in attendance. The seedlings can then be used at the 10th Annual Tree Planting Event at Shelby Farms led by Memphis community members who have the vision to plant 10,000 trees. To register, please visit wolfriver.org.

Preceding the seedling giveaway, the Grizzlies’ “Go Green Night” presented by International Paper, will host the Go Green Expo on the FedExForum Plaza Friday from 5-7 p.m. which will feature several non-profits and conservancy groups that focus on sustainability (weather permitting).

Throughout the game, International Paper will also provide all fans in attendance with an opportunity to take pictures with amazingly realistic life-sized corrugated cutouts of their favorite Grizzlies player. Fans can download the free Print Hammermill(TM) App in order to download their photo directly from their smartphone to printers located in the International Paper zone outside sections 104-106.
